In the last desperate days of World War II, Adolph Hitler personally presented seven commemorative golden Luger pistols to those he felt most represented the ideals of the Third Reich.  The possession of just four of  weapons was the key to the hoard of Nazi gold, stolen, confiscated, and looted during the war.

By the 1960’s a total of six of the pistols have been found but no one controls more than three.  Griff, an American Peace Corps worker in Brazil, stumbles across the missing seventh Luger.  Neo-Nazis, the combined Allied intelligence services and world class criminals trail are soon after Griff and, Alena, a beautiful Brazilian graduate student, from South America to modern day Germany in search of prize.
